SAN ANTONIO -- A man was struck twice by two different vehicles on each side of Interstate 10 Tuesday on the East Side.

Officials on scene said the man sustained life-threatening injuries but was conscious when authorities arrived around 1:30 p.m.

The man parked his red pickup along the median near exit 583 on Interstate 10 East, got out of his car and got clipped by a car, officials said. He then stood up, got back in his car and drove two miles down Interstate 10 East. The man parked his car again in the median, got out by exit 585, jumped over the median, ran into Interstate 10 West and was hit by a bus, officials said.

Authorities are treating the incident as a crime scene even though they believe it was an attempted suicide.

Several witness stopped along the median when they saw what happened.

Westbound lanes of Interstate 10 were closed from roughly 1:30 to 3 p.m.
